Is that what you took away from this?
No comment on what your government is trying to do here? Exclude some media from information?
Doesnt it worry you?
Is that what a democratic government claiming to govern for all should do?
All you've got is a sarky comment on morality of the press?
Maybe you could spare a sarky comment on morality of the former journalist who leads the government? You know, the one who was sacked twice for lying, who tried to have someone beaten up, who is a serial philanderer? No comment on his morals and his attempt at dictatorial information politics worthy of a tin pot dictatorship not a "global outward looking" Britain?

It's a terrifying day when the journalists actually HAVE the moral high ground

...Lee Cain Jong Un...?...’we’ll only have the nice pics please and the people who like us...’...is that how Britain is made great../..I don’t think so...

[Tom4784]

Tories have a literal cult following, I swear. It's scary how people will hear this and instantly frame it as someone else's fault.

This is how democracy dies.

BoJo (and the Tories let's face it) really does NOT want to lose the trash rags... The section of the GBP that handed them their majority hangs on every word. If The Sun decides he's a baby murdering vampire they'll be whittling stakes by lunch time.

The gammon turning on Piers Morgan because he’s defending the media is a wonderful sight, however, as much as it pains me, he’s actually in the right this time

on GMBHD itv
while he is on.

A battle going on with Pres Sec.
Mr. Cain
in Downing Street.

Didn't I see Laura Kuenssberg ask Boris a question on the news last night? Has her boycott finished already?

No it was recorded
a day back , I think.

When they put that on the Lazy BBC News
it would help if they put "yesterday"

Get em' Boris.

Laura is a Long time Mate of Johnson
(did a one on one docu with him, when he was under T. May)
and was invited in with SkyNews
and the Telegraph etc.

But they all stand together
as Peston of ITV
was a long time BBC worker

You don't need to take people's freedoms when they'll willingly hand them over. Tory voters will gladly do just that, it seems.

If Boris is trying to control which parts of the press get coverage depending on if they'll give him the spin he wants then that's a bad sign for our freedoms. If you're cheering on Boris for this, you are cheering on the erosion of our rights. Anyone who is cheering this on can stop pretending to care about the military and the sacrifices made for our freedoms when people are willingly cheering on those sacrifices being rendered in vain by the actions of this government.

It's a slippery slope and the Tories and their supporters are greasing that slop even further.

Untill of course it's their lives impacted but by then it will be too late.
They came for the ( insert minority here) and I did nothing....

Nah, even when it starts to effect them, it'll be the fault of Labour or Remainers or any other scapegoats they can name. They won't turn their backs on their Tory Messiahs any time soon.

[Tom4784]

Except he's not, he's trying to select who gets updates that all Media are entitled to, Arista.

He's trying to curb press freedom.

There is no suggestion that the pm is being boycotted either... of course journalists will still continue to question and report, it was the politics journalists briefings that were questioned.
Fair play to Laura K and Co, as least they appreciate the need for a level playing field.

Of Course for years Laura worded with Peston
when he was on BBC
now he is on ITV1HD News and his show.

[bots]

this is going to happen more and more frequently. Anyone that takes a stand against the fake news peddled by Boris and his team will be excluded. Boris is not a saviour, boris can barely summon the energy to get out of bed in the morning
